DRV8434S SPI Stepper Motor Driver Carrier, 2A Max. Current Limit
This breakout board for TI’s DRV8434S microstepping bipolar stepper motor driver operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver up to approximately 1.2 A continuous per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (2 A peak). The SPI interface allows configuration of the current limit, step mode (11 step modes from full-step through 1/256-step), decay mode, and stall detection. The driver also features built-in protection against under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature conditions. This version of has the maximum current limit set to a fixed 2A, and SPI can be used to set the actual current limit to any of 16 evenly spaced values from 125 mA up to 2 A (i.e. in increments of 125 mA).

Notes:
- 1
- Without included optional headers.
- 2
- Inputs below 6 V reduce the maximum settable current limit. With 4.5 V in the maximum settable limit is 1.75 A.
- 3
- Not intended for use with 48V batteries, which can be well above nominal when fully charged.
- 4
- Without a heat sink or forced air flow.
- 5
- With sufficient additional cooling.
- 6
- Logic high threshold varies for two-state, tri-state, and quad-state pins. See datasheet for details.
- 7
- Absolute maximum voltage on any input is 5.75 V.
